By the way: http://www.spectator.org/archives/0104TAS/bethell0104.htm Now let's look at the "simplicity rules" philosophy again and ask ourselves if all we are providing is an illusion of simplicity when really we must reexamine where generic information should be in the system to get robustness. One big component that works but you don't know why vs lots of little components that all test good but produce the wrong output.... reliable vs flexible. Where is the sweet spot? Nature outs simplistic metaphors as superstition or just another way to get funded. If we are in the standards business, we better know the difference. A standard governs. A spec incubates. People who can't step up to the risks of the first should stick to the latter because if the standard is faulty, the owner of the standard is liable and culpable.
